Santa in Hermosa Beach Dec. 19

Santa Claus and his crew of jolly helpers will visit six Hermosa Beach neighborhoods for free photos and fun.

Kids in Hermosa Beach will get to visit with Santa Wednesday (the date was moved from Dec. 12 due to weather concerns) when the man in red takes his sleigh out for six neighborhood visits, including a stop on Pier Plaza.

Escorted by the Hermosa Beach Police and Fire departments, Santa will spend 20 minutes at each stop, where he will take photos with residents waiting to meet him.

Here is Santa's schedule for Wednesday:
